Plus, more women accuse photographer Jonathan Leder of inappropriate behavior.
The magazine's digital creative director is leaving after nearly 20 years at the brand.
"It's schoolyard bullying, plain and simple."
At least until you fully understand what you and your brand have to offer.
With her piercing blue eyes and voluminous raven hair, Zana Bayne is striking, even before you factor in the fact that she is usually wearing a harness. The self-taught leatherworker has made quite a name for herself since launching her namesake label in 2010, dressing celebs like Madonna, Lady Gaga and Chloe Sevigny as well as fashion insiders like Taylor Tomasi-Hill and Sally Singer. We caught up with Bayne to talk about how she went from high school fashion blogger to in-demand accessories designer with clients like Prabal Gurung and Lady Gaga.
For the first time ever, Vogue.com is making fashion films. Starting last week the site is rolling out a series of four short films by young women directors hand picked by Sally Singer, Vogue's creative digital director. Each film is meant to celebrate and interpret punk in advance of the Met Ball and the Costume Exhibit's "PUNK: Chaos to Couture." We hopped on the phone with Singer to talk about the changes she's making to Vogue.com, her decision to make a foray into fashion film, and her personal punk past. Click through to see what Singer had to say and watch today's punk fashion film, starring Cara Delevingne.
We Add to Vogue's Best Dressed List: Shortlisting 10 of the best dressed women in the world can't have been easy, and while we think Vogue did a great job, there are another 10 ladies we feel deserved a shout out. Deborah Needleman's T Magazine: The magazine is not the same place that Sally Singer left it. To give you an idea of what to expect from the new team, we compiled this guide to the staffers Needleman has brought on board. A Misérables Diet: In her Vogue cover story Anne Hathaway spoke about her diet of "two thin squares of dried oatmeal paste a day" to slim down for her role as Fantine in Les Misérables. We had so many questions, like for starters, what is dried oatmeal paste? And what does it taste like? So we made some.
Sally Singer is going back to her old stomping grounds: Vogue. After leaving her post as editor in chief at T Magazine over a month ago, Singer has just been named creative director of digital at Vogue--and she starts work in just a week and a half, WWD is reporting.
Since new T EIC Deborah Needleman has only been at her new job for all of three days, she hasn't really been divulging much about her plans for the magazine to the press yet. However, WWD has learned from "sources" that she definitely has some plans--and demands. In fact, the trade alleges that Needleman "started negotiating with the Times while Singer was still holding court on the sixth floor."
In a move that should surprise no one, Deborah Needleman has replaced Sally Singer at the helm of T: The New York Times Magazine, the Times announced today.

Sally Singer, the former Vogue features and fashion news editor, is celebrating her one year anniversary as the editor-in-chief of the New York Times' T Magazine. New York Magazine sat down with the editor for a pretty enlightening interview in which she talks about her thoughts on photo retouching, the nuttiness that is street style now, and what it was like to work at Vogue. Here are the best nuggets from the interview:
Media is evolving at the breakneck speed of Twitter and traditional print outlets and new media ones are constantly reorganizing and reshuffling mastheads to ensure that their publications continue to rake in advertisers and stay alive. The world of fashion media is no exception. This year there was so much playing of editorial musical chairs, we devised little flow charts to try to keep it all straight. From Carine Roitfeld's shocking departure from Vogue Paris to the fat-hating Marie Claire blogger who pissed just about everyone off, here are the top ten fashion media stories of the year.
Barneys New York CEO Mark Lee wants a fashion director after all. Following Monday's news that store veteran Julie Gilhart would be leaving the company, WWD reports that Lee is said to be searching for a fashion director. His two top candidates? Lane Crawford's Sarah Rutson and Vogue's Virginia Smith. Both choices makes sense, Rutson more so. But the woman who transformed Lane Crawford into a serious fashion player has been living in Hong Kong for the 15 years. Will she want to transplant herself to New York? Smith, who is the fashion market/accessories director at Vogue, might not have a retail background, but she certainly has the eye Lee is looking for. While Barneys needs to maintain its edge, it also needs to offer a broader range of product. Remember, Barneys' main problem--from an investor's standpoint--is that it's not selling enough clothes.
It's a rare day when fashion people actually look like they're having fun--pure, unadulterated fun--at a runway show. But tonight at the Pierre Hotel, Alber Elbaz debuted his Lanvin x H&M collection. So things were different. The Scene: A tiny ballroom at the Pierre Hotel on the Upper East Side, and a runway decorated with mounds of hydrangeas. (Inspired by Yves Saint Laurent, who liked to decorate his runways similarly.) The Players: Friends Sofia Coppola and Anna Sui (who wore a mix of Lanvin and her own designs), Andie Macdowell (the only person who makes me wish my hair was curly again), Alex Wang, Sally Singer, Grace Coddington, Emma Roberts, Elettra Wiedemann, and a gaggle of bloggers, including Fashionista favorites Susie Bubble, Phil Oh, and Bryan Boy. The Runway:Yes, the one-of-a-kind versions of the H&M collection were stunning. But really, it was all about the atmosphere. And Anna Dello Russo. The models pranced down the runway much like they used to before the '90s, "making love with the camera," if you will. But of course ADR stole the show, stomping down the catwalk with a grey poodle. We love Anna, but a poodle makes her irresistible.
Lanvin Hearts H&M Trailer: Remember when we told you about the competition H&M was holding offering an exclusive Lanvin video to the most popular blogger? Well, Zet Fashion was able to gather up enough votes to win exclusive rights run a cut of the Lanvin Hearts H&M trailer (the full vid debuts on November 8 at HM.com). The video shows Leigh Lezark pouring Alber Elbaz tea and it's pretty amazing. {Racked} More Sofia Coppola for LV: Sofia Coppola is a busy lady. In the past year she has given birth to her second child and directed her new film Somwhere. She's also added more bags to her popular collection with Louis Vuitton. The expanded collection will offer more colors and shapes as well as her signature SC bag in luxe crocodile. {Daily Front Row} Sally Singer's First Issue at T: Rumors are floating around that Mick Jagger will grace the cover of Sally Singer's first issue of T. {Fashionologie} Lara Stone On Having Kids: Apparently, Lara Stone is all about having kids. Little gay boys, specifically. "I would love to have children some day," she told British Vogue. "I'd like little gay boys. That would be good. I'm terrified of having a little girl. Girls are more evil than boys. And then they have boyfriends." {The Cut}
